TCMT16T308-RM4 WMP20S – indexable turning insert (triangle 60°) for rostfreier Stahl, Walter Tools

TCMT16T308-RM4 WMP20S is an indexable turning insert designed for machining rostfreier Stahl under medium to robust conditions

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide
• Optimised RM4 chipbreaker
• Triangle 60° with 0.8 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance for secure cutting

Reliable chip control for rostfreier Stahl machining

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver coating and the WMP20S carbide grade brings a measurable improvement in process stability when machining rostfreier Stahl. The coating technology reduces adhesion and thermal load at the cutting edge, while the RM4 chipbreaker promotes consistent chip segmentation; together these factors reduce the risk of built‑up edge and improve surface finish. For workshop planners and production engineers, this means fewer interruptions for tool changes and more predictable cycle times, supporting efficient, continuous operation.

Precision geometry for repeatable accuracy and quick set‑ups

The triangular 60° form with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle delivers a balance between edge strength and form control. The insert’s geometry supports robust turning operations while maintaining dimensional repeatability on critical diameters. The plate thickness T3 and the standardised indexable design enable multiple indexings per insert, reducing tooling costs per part and simplifying toolholder selection. As a result, machinists achieve consistent part quality with minimal adjustment time between batches.

Lower unit costs through extended life and broad applicability

WMP20S, as a Walter Tools grade within the Tiger‑tec Silver range, is tailored for rostfreier Stahl and medium to heavy cutting conditions; the outcome is improved wear resistance and longer time between regrinds. The coated carbide construction resists common wear mechanisms encountered with these alloys, translating into lower cost per component and less downtime. Combining stable chip control, a strong cutting edge and proven coating technology makes this insert a pragmatic choice for production environments aiming for both productivity and surface integrity.
